Rock on rock 石上石

A few days ago, I went to the annual Canada National Exhibition (CNE) and visited the Rock On Rock Gallery. The visual artist Daryl Maddeaux stacked up small and big rocks up to the height of an adult. His patience, coolness, calmness and willpower to accomplish his artwork have made the audience amazed!

His work is "designed to tickle your imagination and to visually remind you that even when things appear impossible, that impossible is just a word."

Photo equipment:
Nikon D300S, Nikon GP-1 GPS
AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED

日前,往一年一度的加拿大國家展覽會遊覽,觀賞了石藝堆砌視覺藝術家的傑作。他將大小不一的石頭疊起,最高的可以達到成人的高度。他的耐性、冷靜、心定及毅力,完成疊石的過程實在令人讚嘆。他的作品是要「引起你的幻想,使你看到那些似乎不可能發生的事情,能確成事實,勝於雄辯。」
